(Text 2)
M：Shall we go to watch a football game this afternoon
W：I can't agree more. But I have to go to the grocery first to pick up some drinks and eggs for my mother.
(Text 3)
M：Madam, don't panic. Could you tell me how the accident happened

(Text 6)

W：Look at the screen.
M：What is happening
W：Our flight to Sydney will be delayed for 3 hours, so now it won't depart until 1 p．m. But we have a meeting at night.
M：That shouldn't be a problem. The meeting doesn't begin until 8 o'clock in the evening. But we have another problem.

W：Yes, job. If you're going to live on your own, you have to pay for the rent and everything else.
M：I thought I could just get you and Dad to pay for an apartment.
W：When you move out, your father and I aren't paying your rent, young man. Get a job.

W：Well, the newspaper is over there.
(Text 8)
W：Would you like to go to the Grand Theatre with me？Here are two tickets for an opera there.

W：Yes, usually in Italian or French.
M：Not good for me. As you know, I can only speak English and a little German besides my mother tongue. I can hardly speak Italian and French.

M：Yes, it lasted three days.
W：Did the children enjoy the holiday camp or were they homesick
M：Well, I must admit some of the younger kids were a bit unhappy because they'd never been away from their home on their own before. But soon they recovered. In the end, they even didn't want to go home.
W：What sorts of things did you do with them
M：There were some trips, including a visit to Hardwick Hall. That was what we did on the first day. I thought they expected it to be boring, especially when they heard that was a guided tour. But I was wrong, for the guide was interesting. His stories really made the history of the castle alive.
W：I can imagine it. By the way, what sorts of sports activities did you do
M：A lot. Sailing, climbing, horse riding and the hike. On the last day we had a barbecue (户外烧烤), which was their favorite. The kids liked it very much. They all hoped to come again next year.
W：That sounds interesting and impressive.

Welcome to Student Life! Today we're going to talk about setting up a project of student jobs in your school. Having students do different jobs around the school is a great way to prepare them for life in the real world. It encourages them to be responsible and also helps them learn new tasks and gain experience.
However, it's important to get students excited about the project, so the first thing you should do is let students know this project. Get the headmaster to make an announcement explaining the project. OK
Then decide on the jobs you want and write out the descriptions of the skills and responsibilities needed for each position. Some typical jobs are Classroom Assistants, Recycling Officers and Computer Assistants. Next, ask students to apply for the jobs. Students should be encouraged to write letters of application for the job they are interested in. This is a great way to practice letter writing skills. And don't forget you should make sure students are guided by a teacher. A committee then reviews all the applications and gives jobs to the most suitable applicants. Finally, it's important to get opinions from students about the project, and to find out which jobs are successful and which don't go well.

When I was just a child, my father died and my mother took up many jobs in order to feed the family.That left me with much time to spend at my grandparents' house.My grandmother, Rolison, was strict with me.If I did something she didn't think was right, she would tell me.But I know she loved me deeply.I remember that she always smiled with her eyes，even when she was angry，even when she was tired.
Rolison was my best friend.And more：she was a life coach，too.It's really surprising how many life lessons you can learn in a small kitchen if you have the right teacher.
In the kitchen, food is not just what we eat — it can be tools for Rolison's words of wisdom.I remember when we were making soup, Rolison explained, “Some people are meat and some people are potatoes.It would be a really boring soup if you just put potatoes in there, wouldn't it But if you add lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes, then you make this wonderful thing. And all these different people come together to make this wonderful thing called our world.”
Once, after picking some tomatoes, I reached out and turned the page on Rolison's cookbook.But my fingers were wet with tomato juice — and they left a little handprint (手印) behind on the book. I started to cry because I thought I had ruined it.That was grandma's favorite book.But she took a tomato and covered her hand.She put her handprint on the other side and made our fingers touch in the print.Then she said, “It's perfect now.”
Rolison died in 1988，when I was 15 years old.These days, when I miss my grandmother, I will just open up that cookbook to the same page.It still smells like her, even all these years later.

As an English teacher, I found that English slang (俚语) can be more difficult for those who learn English as a second language to understand.This became clear when I was talking to one of my students, Cathy, in Japan. “Excuse me, Miss White. I want to go to buy a notebook outside the school.”“It's bucketing outside，” I said.It is an English slang expression which means “it is raining”．However, she didn't seem to understand what I said.
The point I'm trying to get across is that being confused about English slang in the beginning is perfectly natural because it is what makes the language special.But learning some slang is a fantastic way of understanding the culture of a country.English does have some interesting slang.Here is some of my favorite slang which is common in Northern Ireland.
To keel over: If someone keels over, it basically means that he/she has fallen over because he/she has passed out or died.
To be in bed with your head：This is used to describe someone who has gone to bed because he/she has a headache.
To upset the apple cart：This means that someone has caused trouble or upset someone's plans.
Dead on：This means “exactly right”，“perfect” or shows that someone agrees with what you've said.
Slang can be difficult to learn but it's really impressive when you get it right! Slang also helps you sound friendly, so it's great for making friends.If you can use some of these English expressions in a conversation, people will be amazed!
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者喜欢的几个英语俚语以及学好俚语带来的益处。
28．How did Cathy feel when the author said “It's bucketing outside”？
A．She was nervous. B．She was surprised.
C．She was worried. D．She was confused.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，Cathy在听了作者说It's bucketing outside后，不明白作者在说什么，感到很困惑。
29．What does the author say about slang
A．It tells us the history of a country.
B．It is created by language teachers.
C．It shows the culture of a country.
D．It is used to impress foreigners.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，学习俚语是了解一个国家文化的好方式，即俚语可以体现一个国家的文化。
30．If someone says “Does the word mean ‘elevator’？”，what could you say
A．I keel over.
B．You're dead on.
C．You upset the apple cart.
D．I'm in bed with my head.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据文中对Dead on的解释可知，这个俚语表示“完全正确”、“完美”，也能表示某人同意你所说的话。因此，如果有人说“那个单词的意思是‘电梯’吗？”，你可以回答You're dead on，意为“完全正确”。
31．In which part of a newspaper can we read this text
A．Culture. B．Science.
C．Travel. D．Lifestyle.
解析：选A 文章出处题。本文以作者在国外教英语时发现母语不是英语的人很难懂俚语引入主题，介绍了作者喜欢的几个俚语以及学好俚语带来的益处。俚语属于文化，故本文可能在报纸上的“文化”部分出现。
D
Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older.Language experts, however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language.As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.
Children and adults learn new languages in different ways.For children, language is their life.They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities.Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community.Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practise as much as young children do.
Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes.This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident.Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language.This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.
When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society.This mindset (思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or “too hard”．
So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language.If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done.If you're a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。本文通过对比成年人和儿童学语言的不同情况告诉大家无论什么时候学习一门新的语言都不晚。
32．By saying “language is their life” in Paragraph 2, the author means that children ．
A．can't live without language
B．lead a happy life every day
C．practise a new language a lot
D．are taken good care of by adults
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的They study for thousands of hours every year可知，他们每年要花费成千上万个小时学习语言，由此可以推知其意思是指儿童在学习新语言的时候进行了大量的语言练习。
33．What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language
A．They are afraid of being laughed at.
B．They usually have too many interests.
C．They think making mistakes is natural.
D．They always make different kinds of mistakes.
解析：选A 细节理解题。第三段最后一句This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.中的This指代上句Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language.由此可知，成年人学习语言的时候，往往因为追求完美而感到有压力，也就是说，成年人在学习语言时会担心受到嘲笑。
34．Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language
A．The behaviour they have.
B．The learning attitudes.
C．The future plans they have made.
D．The materials they are using.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二至四段的内容可知，儿童和成年人学习的方法不同、态度不同会导致学习结果的不同。
35．According to the author, a new language ．
A．can never be learnt by the old people
B．can be grasped by the old people easily
C．can be understood only by the old people
D．can be learnt by both the old and the young
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的It's never too late to learn a new language.可知，什么时候学习一门新的语言都不晚，也就是说成年人和儿童都可以学习新的语言。

The term “small talk” is usually used in and outside of the business world.However, if asked, few people who use the term would be able to clearly explain what it means. 36 Here is some basic knowledge of “small talk” to help you understand it.
Small talk is also called non official talk.It is often used by people to provide a break from official conversation. 37 Business people are not exceptions.But to be exact, they take a break from a conversation to another conversation.
38 The weather, weekend plans and sports are all proper small talk subjects.Improper small talk subjects should be avoided at all costs.They can damage business relationships and make one lose his/her job easily.Racism (种族主义) is a common example of improper small talk subjects.
There are some small talk subjects that need your special attention. They might include politics (政治)，current issues (时事新闻)，personal preferences, etc.Although they aren't necessarily unacceptable, you had better not talk about them during a small talk, as they can easily result in disagreement. 39
If small talk is proper and welcomed by another person, it can help to improve business relationships. 40 If so, there won't be enough time left for official conversation!
A．After all, even friendships require a beginning.
B．To make full use of small talk, one must truly understand it.
C．People take short breaks during the work day to talk with others.
D．As we all know, disagreement is best avoided, especially in business.
E.However, one should be sure not to spend too much time on small talk.
F．Small talk provides people with plenty of information in a very short time.
G．Small talk can relate to almost any matter in the world as long as it is proper.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了small talk。
36．选B 空前一句说“如果被问到的话，很少有人能清楚地解释什么是small talk”，本空承上启下，说明为了充分利用small talk，我们必须真正地理解这个概念。空后一句点明下文是关于small talk的基本知识。
37．选C 空前一句说“人们常用闲聊来中断正式谈话”，也就是人们在工作日休息片刻与他人交谈。空处内容是对空前一句的进一步解释说明。
38．选G 本段介绍small talk中可以涉及和必须禁止的话题，故本空填“只要small talk的话题是合适的，它就可以涉及世界上几乎任何事情”。
39．选D 有些small talk的话题虽然不是一定不能接受，但最好也不要涉及。空前一句中的as they can easily result in disagreement说明了原因。本空进一步补充说明：众所周知，尤其是在商业中，最好避免意见不一致的情况。
40．选E 根据空后的“如果这样的话，留给正式谈话的时间就不够了”可以推知，本空说明不应该在small talk上花费过多的时间。

58．If 考查状语从句。结合句意可知，此处是if引导的条件状语从句，故填If。
59．certainly 考查词性转换。空处修饰动词短语run up，应用certain的副词形式certainly。
60．difficulties 考查词性转换和名词的单复数。many修饰可数名词复数。difficult的名词是difficulty，其复数形式为difficulties。
61．it 考查代词。it happens that ...是固定句型，意为“……发生”。it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的that从句。
62．finding 考查非谓语动词。have trouble (in) doing sth“做某事有困难”。
63．suggestion 考查词性转换。形容词性物主代词修饰名词，suggest的名词是suggestion，谓语是is，故用单数名词suggestion。
64．useful 考查词性转换。用形容词作表语。use对应的形容词是useful。
65．the 考查冠词。the development of ...意为“……的发展”。

I am writing to share my English learning experiences with you.
I started to learn English when I was ten.In the beginning I found it fun to learn a new language. However, as time went by, I had difficulty memorizing so many new words.Later my mother bought me some English storybooks.Gradually I formed the habit of reading English stories, which helped enlarge my vocabulary.I made quick progress in English.
What foreign language are you learning？Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I'm from Nova Scotia but moved to Prince Edward Island several years ago.All of my family is still in Nova Scotia.A little over a week before Christmas, my grandmother passed away.My boss kindly gave me time off to let me go home for the funeral (葬礼).
There are two ways off Prince Edward Island：a bridge to a neighboring area, or a ship directly to Nova Scotia.Taking the ship shortened the trip, but it stopped running on the 22nd.I planned to leave on the 20th so I could get home in time to help my mom with the funeral preparations.
However, I put off leaving because of a snow, and I had to book my ship for the 21st.I left early that day.I was one third of the way when my car started to change direction suddenly.I stopped and got out to look.I had a flat tire (爆胎).Although I had a tire on my car, I didn't know how to put it on.
I called roadside assistance (道路援救), and then the place that serviced my car.They have one appointment (预约) open for three thirty in the afternoon.I took it.Even though it meant that not only would I miss the ship I booked, but also probably the following one, which was the very last one of the season.I would have to take the bridge.After a cold wait for assistance, I was making the trip back to the city where I lived.
I went to my service center early so that they could spare me a few minutes.As I parked, I discovered that the drink I bought for my way home spilled (洒) onto my passenger seat.Taking some paper towels, I hurried to wipe it clean.I didn't realize that my door was now lightly touching the car next to mine.The owner ran up to me and started shouting.
I tried to apologize (道歉) but he kept shouting.And then I burst into tears because it was really a hard day.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答．
I don't remember exactly what I said anymore.
And because of the appointment exchange, I was able to catch the very last ship of the season.
参考范文：
I don't remember exactly what I said anymore.But I remember saying that I was trying to go home for my grandmother's funeral, and that I had a flat tire and missed the ship.He got really quiet after that, apologizing and saying he was just frightened, because he borrowed the car. He asked when the last ship was.I told him.We went in together and he asked the lady at the service desk if they could exchange our appointments, because I had to leave as soon as possible. I thanked him and sat down to wait. They hurried, and I had a new tire half an hour later.
And because of the appointment exchange, I was able to catch the very last ship of the season.I never knew the man's name, but because of him, I got home in time to help my mom.So, to the stranger who showed me kindness, and the people at the service center who helped settle my problem quickly: thank you. You made a hard day and a hard Christmas a lot easier, for both me and my family.

Quizlet is a learning app — a computer program you use on your mobile device.It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words and terms.Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects.And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners.
Socrative
In Socrative, teachers can create timed learning games.In class, students compete individually or as part of a team against classmates.One game students love is called Space Race.In this game, if a team answers a question correctly, their rocket moves forward.This team whose rocket gets to the end first wins.Also, teachers can use Socrative as an “exit ticket”， a question they can ask students about what they learned in that day's class.Students write their answers on their mobile devices.Then, the teacher can show the answers on a shared video screen.
QR Codes
A QR Code is a kind of sign that a smartphone can read with its camera.When your phone camera reads a QR code, it takes you to a website, image, video or anything you want to share.For example, one will take you to the VOA Learning English website.

When I was just a child, my father died and my mother took up many jobs in order to feed the family.That left me with much time to spend at my grandparents' house.My grandmother, Rolison, was strict with me.If I did something she didn't think was right, she would tell me.But I know she loved me deeply.I remember that she always smiled with her eyes，even when she was angry，even when she was tired.
Rolison was my best friend.And more：she was a life coach，too.It's really surprising how many life lessons you can learn in a small kitchen if you have the right teacher.
In the kitchen, food is not just what we eat — it can be tools for Rolison's words of wisdom.I remember when we were making soup, Rolison explained, “Some people are meat and some people are potatoes.It would be a really boring soup if you just put potatoes in there, wouldn't it But if you add lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes, then you make this wonderful thing. And all these different people come together to make this wonderful thing called our world.”
Once, after picking some tomatoes, I reached out and turned the page on Rolison's cookbook.But my fingers were wet with tomato juice — and they left a little handprint (手印) behind on the book. I started to cry because I thought I had ruined it.That was grandma's favorite book.But she took a tomato and covered her hand.She put her handprint on the other side and made our fingers touch in the print.Then she said, “It's perfect now.”
Rolison died in 1988，when I was 15 years old.These days, when I miss my grandmother, I will just open up that cookbook to the same page.It still smells like her, even all these years later.
24．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．The author lived a difficult life as a kid.
B．The author was afraid of her grandmother.
C．The author was close to her grandmother.
D．The author's grandmother didn't accept her.
25．What did Rolison try to tell the author when they were making soup

B．Cooking was an interesting thing.
C．A soup tasted better with different foods.
D．Different people made up a wonderful world.
26．How did the author feel when she left a handprint behind on the book
A．Shocked. B．Nervous.
C．Angry. D．Hopeless.
27．Why does the author write the text
A．To remember her grandmother.

C．To show her grandmother's cooking skills.
D．To share the principles her grandmother taught.

As an English teacher, I found that English slang (俚语) can be more difficult for those who learn English as a second language to understand.This became clear when I was talking to one of my students, Cathy, in Japan. “Excuse me, Miss White. I want to go to buy a notebook outside the school.”“It's bucketing outside，” I said.It is an English slang expression which means “it is raining”．However, she didn't seem to understand what I said.
The point I'm trying to get across is that being confused about English slang in the beginning is perfectly natural because it is what makes the language special.But learning some slang is a fantastic way of understanding the culture of a country.English does have some interesting slang.Here is some of my favorite slang which is common in Northern Ireland.
To keel over: If someone keels over, it basically means that he/she has fallen over because he/she has passed out or died.
To be in bed with your head：This is used to describe someone who has gone to bed because he/she has a headache.
To upset the apple cart：This means that someone has caused trouble or upset someone's plans.
Dead on：This means “exactly right”，“perfect” or shows that someone agrees with what you've said.
Slang can be difficult to learn but it's really impressive when you get it right! Slang also helps you sound friendly, so it's great for making friends.If you can use some of these English expressions in a conversation, people will be amazed!
28．How did Cathy feel when the author said “It's bucketing outside”？
A．She was nervous. B．She was surprised.
C．She was worried. D．She was confused.
29．What does the author say about slang
A．It tells us the history of a country.
B．It is created by language teachers.
C．It shows the culture of a country.
D．It is used to impress foreigners.
30．If someone says “Does the word mean ‘elevator’？”，what could you say
A．I keel over.
B．You're dead on.
C．You upset the apple cart.
D．I'm in bed with my head.
31．In which part of a newspaper can we read this text
A．Culture. B．Science.
C．Travel. D．Lifestyle.
D
Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older.Language experts, however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language.As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.
Children and adults learn new languages in different ways.For children, language is their life.They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities.Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community.Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practise as much as young children do.
Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes.This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident.Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language.This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.
When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society.This mindset (思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or “too hard”．
So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language.If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done.If you're a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!
32．By saying “language is their life” in Paragraph 2, the author means that children ．
A．can't live without language
B．lead a happy life every day
C．practise a new language a lot
D．are taken good care of by adults
33．What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language
A．They are afraid of being laughed at.
B．They usually have too many interests.
C．They think making mistakes is natural.
D．They always make different kinds of mistakes.
34．Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language
A．The behaviour they have.
B．The learning attitudes.
C．The future plans they have made.
D．The materials they are using.
35．According to the author, a new language ．
A．can never be learnt by the old people
B．can be grasped by the old people easily
C．can be understood only by the old people
D．can be learnt by both the old and the young

The term “small talk” is usually used in and outside of the business world.However, if asked, few people who use the term would be able to clearly explain what it means. 36 Here is some basic knowledge of “small talk” to help you understand it.
Small talk is also called non official talk.It is often used by people to provide a break from official conversation. 37 Business people are not exceptions.But to be exact, they take a break from a conversation to another conversation.
38 The weather, weekend plans and sports are all proper small talk subjects.Improper small talk subjects should be avoided at all costs.They can damage business relationships and make one lose his/her job easily.Racism (种族主义) is a common example of improper small talk subjects.
There are some small talk subjects that need your special attention. They might include politics (政治)，current issues (时事新闻)，personal preferences, etc.Although they aren't necessarily unacceptable, you had better not talk about them during a small talk, as they can easily result in disagreement. 39
If small talk is proper and welcomed by another person, it can help to improve business relationships. 40 If so, there won't be enough time left for official conversation!
A．After all, even friendships require a beginning.
B．To make full use of small talk, one must truly understand it.

D．As we all know, disagreement is best avoided, especially in business.

Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways 56 (improve) our English writing ability.Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and 57 (take) less time.It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. 58 we keep practicing, gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English.In keeping a diary in English, we 59 (certain) run up against many 60 (difficult).In the first place, 61 often happens that we have trouble 62 (find) suitable words and phrases to give expression to our mind.Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese.And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.
My 63 (suggest) is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese English dictionary within easy reach.Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary.We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary.In short, I believe that it is very 64 (use) to keep a diary in English for 65 development of our writing skills.

There are two ways off Prince Edward Island：a bridge to a neighboring area, or a ship directly to Nova Scotia.Taking the ship shortened the trip, but it stopped running on the 22nd.I planned to leave on the 20th so I could get home in time to help my mom with the funeral preparations.
